Cost Reduction Expected From Court Reform Move
Northwestern University law professor Dr. William M. Trumbull predicted that if voters approve the proposed Illinois constitutional court reform amendment costs in litigation would fall and delays shrink. He spoke at a joint session of state judge associations, saying the plan would create a chief circuit judge role and bolster administrative authority under the state Supreme Court, with downstate residents having a stake in justice administration beyond Chicago. He warned that failure to reform could trigger drastic changes threatening Illinois common law and jury rights amid overcrowded dockets in Chicago.
